Justason Market Intelligence
Justason Market Intelligence is a Canadian public opinion and research company founded in 2003 by Barb Justason. The firm is located in Vancouver, Canada.
Justason Market Intelligence polled regularly in the lead-up to the November 2011 municipal election. The firm accurately predicted that incumbent Mayor Gregor Robertson would be returned to office.[1] In the race between Mayor Gregor Robertson and challenger, Suzanne Anton, the firm's prediction[2][3] was validated by election results.[4]
Specializations
Municipal politics
In September 2010, a little more than a year before the November 2011 municipal elections, Justason Market Intelligence released the first of a series of regular polls of City of Vancouver residents regarding the performance of the mayor and municipal party support.[5]
Energy sector
Barb Justason, the firm's principal, began evaluating public opinion regarding B.C.'s offshore oil and gas potential in 2001, when the provincial government under Premier Gordon Campbell began exploring this opportunity.[6]
In March 2012, Justason Market Intelligence released a poll demonstrating public opposition to tanker traffic through B.C.'s inside coastal waters, as proposed by Enbridge's Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal.[7]
